Back when I was a college teacher, a student had missed the first three classes of my course. When he finally showed up, I said something off-hand like "I guess this course isn't too high on your priority list." He said, "I was having a round of chemo for my cancer." (??!!) Similar situation, student said, "I had to go to (insert far-away place) to donate bone marrow for my relative's leukemia." Long ago, I was volunteering for the food co-op, taking orders. I am sitting. Attractive man standing next to me is giving me his order and flirting with me. I run my hand under the bottom of his jeans...looking for some skin. I go higher and higher and finally say, "Your boots go up really high." He says, "It's a wooden leg."
(True story.)
